Yep, easily my favorite mp FPS of all time. I bought BF3 for console and hated it, obviously it's better on PC, but still not as good as 2 from what I've played. I think at $10 I may bite though, hopefully I can get a stable FPS going.

So since I dont already own the base game, I should purchase Battlefield 3 Premium Edition for $35? Sorry if that sounds like a stupid question, I'm just trying to make sense of all of thise DLC and "Premium" versions.

The base game is no longer worth getting now that Premium exists, basically. The huge amount of new content plus being able to join all servers is too much to pass up.

Just get Battlefield 3 Premium Edition, don't even look at the base game.

The $35 game includes both the base game and all the DLC/services/etc for less than buying the two individually.

Also, I know using websites to judge if someone's computer to run something isn't always accurate, but if this is the "graph" that I got from "systemrequirementslab.com", I probably shouldn't bother right?

I'm just using a dell laptop (the XPS L502x to be specific) that's got an integrated graphics card and dx11.

I think at this point, from what I've gathered;

Buy the $9.99 version if

a) You only want to play the single player campaign.

b) You aren't sure you'll like the game's multiplayer component.

You will end up spending an extra $5.00 ($29.99 putting you at a total of $39.99) to upgrade to Premium if you end up playing the base game online and fall in love.

If you want to buy the game for multiplayer, just grab the $34.99 Premium.

I would not recommend this at all. Seriously one of the worst campaigns I've ever played. I didn't even finish it because I got stuck and couldn't change the difficulty mid-campaign...
I ended up googling the ending, and it was pretty terrible as well. The game's campaign make Cod games look like a masterpiece.

I have a Dual Core @ 2.7 GHZ, 4GB of RAM and a 5670. Had to lower the resolution and graphics a lot so I could have barely above 24-25 frames. :C

I totally would if I didn't just drop $60 on Metal Grey Fox. :( EA really picked bad timing, if they price-drop the older BF's (2142 and earlier) to like $5-10, I'd consider it this summer when next-gen console specs are released. But as it is... not right now. Sorry, EA. :(

Is it worth buying without the premium content? like I'm not gonna struggle to find games am I?

I tried a little bit of the MP and it seemed bland but for 9.99 I'd give it a try. I love BF1943 but hate the bad company games. The level I tried and didn't like in this was in a very small area. I liked the open areas of 1943 best.

Yeah. It's one of those game that really wants more. A fast i3 with hyperthreading is still good, but anything less causes major issues.

I got confused for a second, actually have a quad core with i7, but it still struggles with some games, can't run Planetside 2, couldn't even launch the Crysis 3 beta, and anything involving PhysX brings it to its knees.

Only the original Bad Company. Bad Company 2 had a few funny moments, but they put the humor from the first game as far into the back seat as they could. Why even have memorable characters if you get rid of the character of those characters through bad writing?

Is the base game that bad? I want to get just the base for casual light playing but it seems that everyone is just saying to get the premium so should I bother with base game at all? (I won't be buying premium either way, $35 is too much for a game for me)

The base maps are the worst maps in the game, but they're far from terrible. It's just that the DLC maps are a huge step up as they were created by a separate team specifically dedicated to expanding the content of already released games. People are pushing the Premium Edition because it's a huge amount of content for a relatively small price hike.

Im wondering this as well. I only have the base..is the expansions that much better?
